Geological Society of London

The Geological Society of London was founded in 1807. It is the UK national society for geoscience, and the oldest geological society in the world. As well as boasting one of the most important geological libraries in the world, the Geological Society is a global leader in Earth science publishing, and is renowned for its cutting edge science meetings. It is a vital forum in which Earth scientists from a broad spectrum of disciplines and environments can exchange ideas, and is an important communicator of geoscience to academics, government, media, those in education and the broader public.
